Hereinafter the embodiment of the present invention is described mainly in audio call and in response to its pre-programmed message.But, the invention is not restricted to these examples.Being understood by those skilled in the art that, the embodiment of the present invention can include text message transmission, internet protocol voice (VoIP) calling, PoC (PTT) calling etc..Therefore, example presented herein is only merely for the purpose of the explanation embodiment of the present invention, and should not be construed as the scope limiting described embodiment.
Referring to Fig. 3, it is provided that the flow chart of each side of the present invention is described.Receive communication (302).Identify described communication (304).Described identification can be to extract caller ID, telephone number or title.Or, described identification can relate to determine that communication type is (such as, audio call, text message, PTT, VoIP) and identity data (such as, caller ID, telephone number, title, e-mail address, Internet Protocol (IP) address).By using identity and/or communication type information, it may be determined that response.For example, audio call can be based on telephone number and storage information cause title identification (such as, in contacts list) on an access terminal.Access terminal also can store the information such as such as classification (such as, private, business, also in contacts list), and described information can be associated and for selecting pre-programmed response with identification data (such as, telephone number, title).System then can check whether to be programmed for the communication received and automated to respond to (such as, based on caller ID, title, classification etc.) (306).If not selecting to automated to respond to for the communication received, then the identification information (310) of described communication can be shown at access terminal.This information can include (such as) communication type (such as, audio call, text message), source (such as, title, telephone number) and/or source categories (such as, business, individual).Subscriber optionally selects situation (such as, meeting, theater, have a holiday) to become more meticulous the selection (312) to appropriate response.This can arrange in advance or select (if if this option can be used) when calling.If this option can with and do not preselect, then subscriber can be pointed out to select situation (314) (such as, seeing Fig. 6 A).After the context is selected or without selecting if any situation, Response List (316) for you to choose (such as, seeing Fig. 6 B) can be provided to subscriber.Once select, just can initiate described response (330).For example, pre-programmed speech message can tell that subscriber described in caller the most in session and will wire back the most immediately.There is provided the appropriate response message of situation to can help to avoid various problems to caller, such as, receive multiple calling from same call person, because many callers by repeatedly callback rather than leave voice mail.
In automatic mode, the matters of Response to selection are mutual perhaps without any subscriber.For example, based on CID (such as, the caller ID on incoming call), optional pre-programmed response (324), and initial selected response (330).Selected response can be identical for all scenario, or subscriber can provide can make described in automatically select some contextual information become more meticulous, it can be detected (320) and in order to limit the response (322) for selecting, and then will select the appropriate response (324) of situation.
For example, replace the particular message recording each event, subscriber can set up a series of replacement based on some criterions and respond, described criterion for example, situation is (such as, meeting, theater etc.), communication type (such as, audio call, text message etc.) and the specific identity of caller or classification.In an example, situation can be " having a holiday ", and communication can be audio call, and caller can be in " private " classification.These parameters given, can would is that the usual manner of appropriate response makes calling pass through.But, in alternate example, situation can be " having a holiday ", and communication can be audio call, and caller is in " business " classification.These parameters given, calling may result in system and automatically selects prerecorded message, and described prerecorded message states that the next business day after vacation end date is responded by the Close Date of vacation and described calling.Described response can overturn in " meeting " situation, and the caller from " business " classification wherein can be made by consulting for subscriber, and the caller in " private " classification can automatically derive statement subscriber the most in session and the message that will wire back after the conference.If an automatic message is assigned to caller or classification, then the situation of Response to selection will be carried out based on communication identifier information.Even if it addition, there is multiple message for each classification, then also can use the default message for each classification in the case of unselected any situation.
Fig. 4 explanation is according to the flow chart of the method for recording audio messages of at least one embodiment of the present invention.In discussing herein, subscriber is considered owner or the actual user of access terminal, and caller is the personnel calling described subscriber.Initialization can with subscriber record can to receptions calling pre-programmed response in use acoustic frequency response (410) start.Subscriber can preserve described message and assign identifier (such as, title, numbering and/or text) (420).Described message can be the acoustic frequency response (430) in storage memorizer on an access terminal and/or provider network storage device.If subscriber completes record message (440), then this setting process completes (450).If subscriber's still unfinished record message, then subscriber can continue record (410) and repeat described process.It is understood by those skilled in the art that, the invention is not restricted to described feature.For example, embodiments of the invention can include the pre-programmed text response to text message.In the foregoing written description, replace in record acoustic frequency response, can input of text messages, to its assign identifier, and be stored for after a while as to received communicate response and retrieve.It addition, described message also can be assigned to particular contact, classification and/or situation to promote that message selects, as discussed herein.
It addition, in the another aspect of described embodiment, the audio frequency recorded can be designated as the introductory audio frequency for each contact person.If it is available, the most described introductory audio frequency can be with pre-programmed response combination to provide the response relatively having customization.For example, replace informing, to caller, the pre-programmed response that subscriber will wire back the most in session and afterwards to them in only obtaining, introductory audio frequency described pre-programmed response can be individualized (such as, " hello; John ", then " I the most in session ... ").Therefore, caller can receive more personalized response, and it also includes that subscriber knows the audio frequency instruction responded to whom.
As discussed above, pre-programmed response is storable in access terminal, server or a combination of both.As used herein, term " server " refers to any device being coupled to communication network and can communicating with access terminal and incoming callers.Equally, function described herein can be located in access terminal, server or a combination of both.For example, automatic mode (such as, as discussed relative to Fig. 3) can be implemented in the server on carrier network so that even screened it before by call diversion to access terminal.Additionally, in other embodiments, access terminal and the work of server tunable.For example, in order to reduce the storage device in access terminal and processor load, access terminal can be used as selecting the interface of pre-programmed response.But, the actual storage of pre-programmed response and process can perform on the server.
Fig. 5 explanation is according to the flow chart for processing the method being received communication of at least one embodiment of the present invention.In illustrated method, communicate as audio call, present it to contribute to explaining and unrestricted embodiments of the invention.Receive and identify calling (510).If subscriber can use, then subscriber can check identification information (such as, caller ID) (512).If subscriber is unavailable, then described process can continue to carry out automatically selecting (such as, as discussed relative to Fig. 3) or carrying out, based on communication identification (such as, caller ID), the pre-programmed response (515) given tacit consent to.It is assigned to described caller ID or the classification corresponding to caller ID, then caller can be transferred to the voice mail (520) of routine without pre-programmed response.If having automatically selected pre-programmed response, then in a similar manner it can be processed (such as, 526,528) as being manually selected, this is discussed in detail below.The availability of subscriber manually can be arranged by subscriber (such as, be set to automated to respond to pattern, unavailable pattern etc. by system), or can arrange (such as, phone being set to stillness mode) detection from access terminal.
If subscriber checked caller ID, so subscriber can determine that it is to answer described calling (514) (such as, pressing send key) and regular call is processed (516) or is transferred to conventional mailbox (518) (such as, soft key is ignored in selection), wherein can leave message (520) on voice mail.But, in conjunction with these options, the list (522) (such as, seeing Fig. 6 A and Fig. 6 B) of situation and/or pre-programmed response also can be presented to subscriber.This allows subscriber to have the chance (524) selecting pre-programmed response from the list of pre-programmed response.If subscriber does not makes a choice within the time limit or selects not select from described list, then can be by the voice mail (520) of call diversion to subscriber.Timeout feature is provided to provide response within reasonable time to caller, even if it is also such for holding fire.From the perspective of caller, if the non-selected any response of subscriber, then calling will be only the missed call being transferred to voice mail.Optionally, in order to promote to obtain the prolongation time for subscriber's Response to selection, can play message, thus inform that caller does not wants on-hook to obtain response.If have selected response, so retrieve selected pre-programmed response (526), and described response (message) is supplied to caller, thus allow subscriber to provide than caller is transferred to general voice mail and respond in more detail, still allow for subscriber to continue it in the case of very small amount is interrupted or do not interrupted movable simultaneously.Once provided with response, just can terminate call (530) or caller is optionally transferred to voice mail (520), wherein can leave message based on the information provided in pre-programmed response to subscriber.For example, the pre-programmed response for business connection people can state that subscriber's this morning the most in session but will wire back in this afternoon, and may call for caller and stay contact this afternoon to facilitate the time in the voice mail of subscriber.In another example, pre-programmed response can even be further directed to unique individual and customize, and such as " John thanks to your incoming call.I, but I wished that this afternoon and you discuss X project the most in session this morning.I facilitates the time to what you wired back or sends e-mails to confirm the time of our videoconference to me please to leave this afternoon in my voice mail." this can select (524) for contact person " John " or be set to the most pre-programmed response 515 so that John will automatically derive this message when calling.After the message, calling directly can be transferred to voice mail 520 so that message can be left to subscriber.
Fig. 6 A and 6B illustrates according to the display in the access terminal of at least one embodiment of the present invention.These are provided to be only used to discuss the present invention and should not be construed as the restriction present invention to the explanation of display.It addition, be understood by those skilled in the art that, exist and can change many design options of display and this type of changes all belong in the range of the embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Fig. 6 B, it is assumed that have selected meeting situation, then be alternatively used for the list 630 of the pre-programmed response of described situation.For example, each in these responses can include that subscriber the most in session and by telegram in reply or responds the instruction of (such as, going back to see in office) in another way.Therefore, subscriber can provide, to caller, the information (632) that situation is relevant by selecting the one in pre-programmed message, which reduces the interruption of subscriber, provides ratio only to staying the general of message to ask many relevant informations to caller simultaneously.It addition, based on communication identification, the list of the pre-programmed response that can become more meticulous further.For example, the list for the pre-programmed response of meeting situation can change for the ID in different classes of (such as, business, individual etc.).Equally, default response or self-defined response can be associated with particular contact, making to be customized and selected (such as, use soft key 642) for the specific response of described individual, such as previous examples request call person confirms the time of the videoconference about project.But, if subscriber is unsatisfied with any one in described pre-programmed option, then subscriber is optional ignores described calling 644 (such as, by selecting soft key 644 or failing to take action), now can be by call diversion to voice mail.
As learned from the previous examples, embodiments of the invention can use multiple criterion with in response to reception calling provide firm context driven responses to various callers.It addition, utilize existing information (such as from the category caller of the contact manager of (or on server) in access terminal) to reduce effort that subscriber made in order to maintain the ID being associated with pre-programmed response and for these data being stored at access terminal or storage memorizer on the server.For example, pre-programmed response to the pre-programmed response of category assignment, and can be used for the contact person in described classification in the case of not having the most pre-programmed response to be associated with each contact person by subscriber.
And, as will be appreciated from the foregoing examples, embodiments of the invention can include the equipment for performing function discussed herein and system.For example, one embodiment of the invention can include a kind of equipment, such as access terminal 102 in Fig. 2, it includes being configured to receiving the logic of communication, is configured to identify the logic of described communication, is configured to the logic that described communication is associated with pre-programmed response, and is configured to the logic using described pre-programmed response to respond described communication.But, in other embodiments, as discussed herein, described logic can reside on server or in access terminal and server a combination of both of communicating with access terminal.It is understood by those skilled in the art that, described herein functional can embody in many forms, and can be integrated in single assembly or be distributed on many devices of communicating with one another.Therefore, the scope that embodiment described should not be construed as limiting the invention.
It addition, described equipment can include that the logic sum being configured to set up situation for described pre-programmed response is configured to determine the logic (such as, seeing Fig. 6 A and 6B) of available pre-programmed response based on described situation.It addition, the embodiment logic that can include being configured to retrieving prerecorded audio message (such as, from memorizer 212) be configured to play described prerecorded audio message to the described logic communicating and responding.For example, access terminal 102 can use custom hardware, such as codec and transceiver 206 to return to caller, as known in the art to be launched by acoustic frequency response.Voice input device 230 can be used for recording audio message, or it can use any known method to record and store.For example, audio message recordable on the remote computer and via RAN120, media (such as, SDRAM) can be loaded and unloaded upload to access terminal 102, or be stored directly on the server on carrier network 126.
